5 out of 5

This was a great book. I loved the cute illustrations, and I know kids will enjoy them as well as the story. The red light green light concept is a wonderful way to help kids make decisions in life. I like the examples included throughout the book, that ask kids what they would do in a certain situation before showing what the “right” way to answer is. There’s inclusivity and diversity and representation in the book too, which I really appreciate. It’s so important for kids to see others who look like them. Overall absolutely wonderful.

CC and I like riding our bikes through the neighborhood.
I pretend my bike is a Jeep.
She pretends her bike is a Beetle.
CC says it’s cute just like her.
I’m just ready to ride and have fun. “Let’s go!”

When CC turns out of her driveway,
her bike scratches her mother’s car. She is afraid to tell her mother.
CC asks me not to tell anyone.
Should I tell someone?

Green GO, Red STOP!


What YOU gonna do off top?

I say to CC she may want to tell her mother.Being honest and admitting your mistakes are good choices.CC goes to her mother and tells the truth. “Awesome!”
